The Hammer Neuenkehrsdorf , sometimes also called Hammer Aichold (t) ing , was located near the Lower Bavarian town of Riedenburg in the Kelheim district . Today Aicholding and Neuenkehrsdorf are districts of Riedenburg. The hammer mill was operated with the water from the Altmühl .

history

In the place of the iron hammer there was originally a mill, which however had no name of its own, but was only called Aicholding Mill . In 1480, Duke Albrecht IV granted Purkhart Kerstorffer and his housewife Margarethen the right to erect a hammer on the site of the mill and use it to produce 66 pounds of rail iron; it was also open to them to set up a grinding mill there. They also were given the right to punish the Handel blacksmith people ( lower courts ), but remained Malefizgericht the judge of Riedenburg. For this they had to pay the Kastner von Riedenburg annual interest of 23 Rhenish guilders . The hammer master was also promised wood for the rooms and dishes and the wood for the charcoal , as well as clay and clay for the stove and the wave fire . In addition, the Hofmark Aicholding already existed , the Hammerherren called the company Neuen-Kersdorf or Neuen-Kehrdorf , from which the name Neuenkersdorf arose . The income from the hammer, the mill and the associated agricultural land is estimated at 910 fl . The ore was obtained from the ore mines in Amberg and Sulzbach .

Dried out inflow to the Neuenkehrsdorf hammer mill

The Kerstorfer family has lived in the area since the 12th century. An Eberhard and Frriedrich von Chersdorf are mentioned in 1183 and 1184 in a document from the Ebersberg monastery . In 1446 there was a Kristian Kersdorfer district judge at Kelheim and his son of the same name is named as the probation judge of the provost's office at Saal . A Ladislaus Kersdorfer von Riedenburg appears in the registers of the University of Ingolstadt in 1555 . The coat of arms of the Kerstorf family was split in silver and red, inside two arid branches with mixed up colors, growing out of a mountain of three. On the helmet is a red-clad arm holding a thin branch (in 1817 the coat of arms was given to a family ennobled under this name). In the 16th century, the family seems to have died out.

In 1523 the hammer master Michael Reichardt (or Renhart ) is mentioned here , who concluded a recession with the city of Riedenburg because of the weirs and an attack with the citizens. In 1527 the hammer was owned by the Riedenburg council and in 1537 a Wolf Sperling is mentioned here. In 1542 a Hannsen Ziegl Hammermeister von Neuenkherstorf, who owned the Aykholting seat of Eustachius von Schminchen and his wife Barbara, nee. von Hürtting, is sold. A hammer master Leonhaden Zugl is mentioned in 1551 in a dispute with his charcoal burners about the correct size of coal. The next owner is Hanns Günzkofer , who appears again on July 28, 1561 because of a dispute with the Riedenburg market. In 1577 an Achaz Günzkofer was named as the guardian of the posthumous son of Hansen Günzkofer . In 1609 Hanns Adam Günzkofer appears as the owner of the hammer and a house in Riedenburg, which the Kerstorfer also owned. In 1590 Georg Seitz and Philipp Beer , both citizens of Riedenburg, owned the hammer jointly. In 1591, Philipp Beer took the other share. However, as early as 1595 he had to advertise the property for sale because of ore debt . Thoma Peer is said to have owned the hammer in 1596 . A document dated August 25, 1597 says that Christophen Köckhens has taken the hammer Neuenkersdorf. According to a message from the rector of the Jesuit University in Ingolstadt, the hammer came to Carl Keckhen in 1621 and in 1636 to Hainrich Keckhen , the brother of the late Carl . In 1635 the hammer and mill were devastated by the effects of the Thirty Years' War and in 1643, the year Heinrich Keck died , the buildings and fields were still empty. 1646 the Bavarian General has George of Truckenmiller the Hofmark Prunn and the hammer Neuenkersdorf from the Keckh'schen Gantmasse bought.

A gun hammer was connected to the hammer (from 1688 at the latest) in a separate hut building. The ore for the hammer was transported from Amberg auf der Vils to the ore chute in Regensburg and reloaded there, in order to be transported either by ship up the Altmühl or by land to Neuenkersdorf. This resulted in additional costs (pavement duty, knife wages, truck wages, state law). The hammer was run in double operation, i.e. H. Day and night there was melting and forging with alternating workers. After a precise comparison of all costs and the sales proceeds, the hammer produced a surplus of 998 fl, from which the duties and taxes as well as the maintenance of the buildings must be deducted.

In 1672 Georg von Truckmiller sold everything to the Jesuit College of Ingolstadt , which in turn sold the hammer to Georg Greissen . In a pamphlet from November 14, 1712, Hans Greuss is named as the owner of the Mahlmühl and the Hammer. In 1718 the citizen of Riedenburg and beer brewer Sebastian Strizl became the owner of Neuenkersdorf for 3,999 florins and 50 florins on loan (= money to be paid to the feudal lord). The Riedenburg magistrate protested against his wish to build an additional sawmill. In 1748 the rich Strizelin is the owner. On August 22, 1761, the property passed from her to her son-in-law Johann Georg Schachtner . On November 23, 1787, a Joseph Bieracker signs an inspection report as the hammer owner ; as such he still appears on July 21, 1804. However, according to a protocol dated May 20, 1818, the Nuremberg citizen Georg Heinrich Scheibe is the hammer mill owner and Bieracker is only the miller of Neuenkersdorf. On May 8, 1822, Clement von Schmaus became the hammer mill owner and Joseph Bieracker the miller. Later this feast appears as both hammer and mill owner, and this remained so until 1841. In the 19th century this company then went down.
